Warm Hugs

 Hello Friends

I am making my last Valentine cards today. I need to get them in the mail.  I am using the Cup of Love die and some pretty heart background paper.  

Design Steps:

1.  Using the Cup of Love die cut out the following colors of card stock: red, pink, blue and white.  Shade the pieces and then assemble using a fine tip glue

2.  Use a Kraft A2 card base cut a piece of blue card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, cut a piece of heart DP 4 x 5 1/4 and cut 3 kraft Scalloped Squares (use the second from the smallest square)

3.  Glue the blue piece of card stock to the kraft card base and then glue down the heart DP.  Add the scalloped squares

4.  Add the cups as shown above.  Stamp the sentiment and layer it onto blue glue as shown below and your card is complete

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Birthday Wishes

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is time to make the CottageCutz family a little bigger.  We are adding a brand new line of Photopolymer Clear Stamps call Lil' Bluebird Designs.  We are kicking off this new line with 16 new stamp sets that have coordinating dies.  Make sure to check all of them out by clicking HERE. 

 Today, I am featuring the Happy Birthday set.  

Design steps:

1.  Using the Happy Birthday set stamp the images in Memento Black.  Use your Copic makers (colors pictured below) to color your images and then cut them out with the coordinating dies

2.  Using the second from the smallest Pierced Square die cut out 4 white squares.  Blend the squares with a blue ink

3.  Create little scenes with the critters.  I used Spring Grass cut on green card stock and Hills Slimline for the brown card stock hills.  When the scenes on each square are complete I cut 4 white Scalloped Squares using the second from the smallest die.  Then I layered the pieced squares on top of the scalloped square

4.  Pop up the little squares as shown above.  Stamp your sentiment which is also included in the Happy Birthday stamp set.  And your card is complete

Spring Bouquet! Scrapping Cottage

Good Morning Friends!

Now on to today's project.  I love teacups and flowers so naturally this die was just calling my name!!  It is called Spring Teacup Bouquet.  I can already tell it will be so versatile with uses for so many occasions.

Design Steps:

 1.  Using the Spring Teacup Bouquet die cut out the flowers and cup in colors of your choice.  I did a little shading on the flowers and cup before the assembly

 2.  Use an A2 card base cut a piece of black 4 x 5 1/4, dotted DP 3 3/4 x 5 and then using the Nested Stitched Scallop Square die cut out a black square.  I used the second from the largest.  Run the square through a dotted embossing folder

 3.  Begin assembling the flower arrangement on the black square.  I put a foam dot under the teacup and then began my flower placement

 4.  Glue the black card stock and the DP to the front of the card and then pop up the black square slightly above center

5.  Using the Expressions Thanks cut it out of black card stock.  Glue the Thanks to the lower right of the card under the arrangement and your card is complete
